When a new mail arrives, there is only a system notification saying a new mail has arrived. The Messaging Indicator envelope does not turn blue. Neither does the Thunderbird icon in the Unity Launcher show unread mail count. So if I miss the notification because I was looking away, I do not have a way of knowing that a mail has arrived. I have tried purging the whole package including the ~/.thunderbird folder, but the problem refuses to go. Messaging menu works fine because Empathy and gm-notify both use it without any trouble.
